Smc To Xd Converter Problems


The variety of ARM9 GP32 uses has built in SMC accessing functions, this is no doubt what it uses. So there is no SMC driver chip, its built in to the CPU.

Yeah, well, I know that, the driver chip is implemented in the CPU, still it exists somehow... ;)


The only problem I had is that the casing on the coverter meant the contacts never er, made contact in the GP32. As for a 256mb card or higher, I already knew of the bios problem hence why I got a 128mb card. Also the majority of Olympus cards that can go up to 1GB do run at 3.3 volts but to be perfectly honest I am now happy that I my GP32 isn't killing SMC's anymore now i have the converter. As for the technicalities of the bios and ARM9 CPU, well thats for all you other guys to argue over, I love my GP cos I can play my old PC Engine games ;) Still, this is fun and makes good reading :D

i dont understand this killing card thing - do they stop working altogether (in comp as well as GP32?) or is it just a bad sector problem??

have you tried reformating the older cards?

PS - where did you get the convertor from?
